This book was used by my first grade teacher to create a classroom play. It was the first time that I had done something like this and almost 15 years later it is with me. -

In the second grade this book was read to class by my teacher. This book is a series of short stories and though it wasn't a very education book, it became one of my favorite 3 book collections. I own all three to this day -
This is the first book I recall that showed me a glimpse into history, the subject that enjoy the most. It was a book that I found entertaining and informational. Although, it was a fiction book it gave me a basic understanding of how to digest lore/history heavy books -
It was one of the first book that I read where foreshadowing and other literary device that I had learned about became apparent. -
My Freshman English teacher who read us The Odyssey, Romeo and Juliet, and To Kill a Mockingbird. He changed the way I read and enjoyed books and re sparked my interest in reading. -
One of my favorite books. This is a tragic autobiography about a teenager in of the Nazi concentration camps. An emotional book with so much description and power. It strengthened my obsession with history and history books. -
This story changed the way I felt and handled short stories. Before I though these shorts were nothing but entertainment, but reading this gave me an understanding about two characters that some novels fail to achieve. -
This book was a very depressing read and was my first introduction to nihilism. At times this book was very confusing and at other times very vivid. It expanded my use of literary elements. -
Jerry was my English professor freshman year of college and she changed my outlook on why we read. We read to become better writers and we write to become better readers. -
I read this book as a part of a political science course and it was a book that changed my look on some of the issues in contemporary America. It is a very conservative book and am consider myself a liberal person, but the author, Dinesh D'Souza, uses logos and pathos to his advantage.This book made me open to reading more conservative books.
